What is recorded here

Crannog in Loughmerans is a circular artificial island, about 25 metres across, sitting in boggy ground where a small lake once held water. People built a low platform there to keep dry feet, store tools or shelter from wet weather. The water has since drained and the land has changed, but the shape still shows where human hands resisted the swamp.

In very boggy terrain, formerly a small lough and c. 60-80m from dryland to the S and E. Identified as a circular feature (diam. c. 25m) on an aerial photograph (GSI S448, 1973-7). It consists of a low man-made platform (H c. 1m). The crannog is also visible on satellite imagery (Google earth).
